Laboratory predictors of severe forms of dengue virus (DENV) infection are needed. These clinical forms seem to be associated with high viremia, stressing the importance of immune responses, which could involve dendritic cells (DC). Yet, very few studies have evaluated DC after DENV infection. We assessed peripheral blood DC subset numbers in mild and severe forms of dengue in 44 patients, older than 15 years...
